From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken comes a gripping dark fantasy about a girl who will do anything to save her sister — even infiltrate the mysterious House of Quiet.

To save her sister, she must enter the House.

In the middle of a deadly bog stands the House of Quiet, a sanctuary for children whose Procedure has triggered powers too dangerous to live with — their last hope for treatment. No one knows how they are healed, or where they go once they leave.

Determined to find her missing sister, Magpie, Birdie schemes her way inside by posing as a maid. But what she uncovers only deepens the mystery. Instead of destitute children seeking social advancement through the Procedure, the House is filled with aristocratic teens burdened with strange and volatile abilities they never should have possessed.

Though Birdie tries to stay focused on her mission, she finds herself drawn to the stoic and silent Forest, charmed by the clever River, and worried for the youngest residents. With fellow maid Minnow watching her every move, danger lurks around every corner.

As Birdie searches desperately for Magpie, she uncovers terrifying threats and devastating truths — forcing her to confront how much she is willing to sacrifice for her sister. Because in the House of Quiet, once you uncover what lies beneath, you risk losing everything.

Unravel the mystery. Ignite the rebellion.
